Perception and the Perceptual Process The Perceptual Process The perceptual process is a sequence of steps that begins with the environment and leads to our perception of a stimulus and an action in response to the stimulus. This process is continual‚ but you do not spend a great deal of time thinking about the actual process that occurs when you perceive the many stimuli that surround you at any given moment. The process of transforming the light that falls on your retinas

Do Boys and Girls See Optical Illusions Differently? [pic] Do Boys and Girls See Optical Illusions Differently? The goal of this paper is to focus on how gender affects what people see in optical illusions. The differences of male and female brains affect how boys and girls act and perceive the world. If there’s a difference in the vision of boys and girls then there will probably be a difference in how they see an optical illusion. Studies show that there are multiple differences in the

are essential for black and white. On the other hand blind spot is an area in the eye where photoreceptors are not present for the vision. In daily life we do not focus on this aspect and ignore it(Walls‚ 1954). Blind spot is present in every single person`s eye. A person is unable to see the thing when the image from the external stimuli falls on optic disc of retina of the eye where no photoreceptors are present. As a result the brain is unable to receive any information which make us

The first thing that happens when we see something is light is focused onto the retina by the eye. The photoreceptor cells absorb that light. This layer of cells takes the light and converts in into electrochemical signals. There are two types of these cells‚ rods and cones. Rods are located in the retina‚ mainly the peripheral regions. Rods are rod-shaped cells and are used for night vision because they respond better to dim light than bright light. This is why people may find that if they look

Unit 1: Introduction to Psychology What is psych? How is it a science? Research methods Psychology – “the scientific study of behavior and mental processes in humans Mental processes = thoughts and feelings Are personal and individual Are covert (hidden) to cannot be observed directly We might observe a person to infer (make a guess) what their mental processes might be Note: mental processes and behavior don’t always match e.g. smiling and laughing when you feel terribly sad Think

detect colors. The photoreceptors in our eyes are 100% cones. This means that we can process all the colors and see them more vividly. A dog can’t tell the difference between red‚ yellow‚ orange‚ or green but they can see whites light blues‚ purples and different shades of grey. Besides just the cones‚ there are other photoreceptors known as rods. Rods can only detect black and white‚ but they also process movement extremely well and help to see in the dark. A dogs photoreceptors are mostly rods

The elasticity of the lens decreases dramatically with age‚ resulting in difficulty

a.1 Eukaryotic Cell vs Prokaryotic Cell All cells can be classfied into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes were the only form of life on Earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotic cells came into being through the process of evolution.

The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Some cells are complete organisms‚ such as the unicellular bacteria and protozoa; others‚ such as nerve‚ liver‚ and muscle cells‚ are specialized components of multi-cellular organisms. Cells range in size from the smallest bacteria-like mycoplasmas‚ which are 0.1 micrometer in diameter‚ to the egg yolks of ostriches‚ which are about 8 cm (about 3 in) in diameter. Although they may differ widely in appearance and function‚ all cells
